Hi MYLOTTERS! Is it true that banana and apple cause constipation? I read an article that banana is a high fiber fruit as well as apple.. 1 medium of apple contains 3 grams of fiber and 1 medium banana has 2.4 grams of fiber..Foods that contain fibers will help to ease constipation right? But why some are saying that if you eat these fruits it will cause you to become constipated? What is the truth with these fruits?

For the constipation is highly recommended that you eat fruits and vegetables for the fiber. The bananas are the only fruit that is prohibited. You can eat any other kind of fruits and vegetables. I recommend to drink at last 2 liters of water everyday.

Apple and banana are completely different! I don't think apple would ever cause constipation but banana just might. It would depend on what else you have eaten.
I put banana into some of my curry dishes because it is an emulsifier! It thickens the liquid better than cornflour but does leave it's taste! Anyone trying this should use LESS than one banana!
